The 3-star Agora is located right in the centre of the city, about 150m from the sparkling diamond district, on the square across the Central Station, which, after seven years of intense renovation, is about to become the most beautiful square of Antwerp. From the hotel, guests can enjoy a relaxing walk on the "Keyserlei" and the "Meir", Belgium's second largest shopping street or discover the "Rubenshuis", home of famous painter Rubens, and have a nice cup of tee or coffee on one of the many terraces nearby. There has been an Agora hotel for several decades on the square but the old hotel has been completely demolished and a brand new hotel with 79 trendy rooms, all equipped with broadband Internet, flat screen TV and coffee and tea facilities has been erected.
